The Louisiana rap star shared a lengthy tweet on Diddy’s situation. It reads:

“I feel DIDDY N JAIL FOR BASICALLY DOING WHAT EVERY OTHER FAMOUS ENTERTAINER HAS DONE “FLEW BITCHES OUT FOR 3 SOMES “HE JUST FREAKIER. WE ACTUALLY GO CALL WOMEN  PROSTITUTES WHO FLY N WILLINGLY TO BE WITH THEY PARTNERS FOR SEX? IF THATS THE CASE IF U BEEN FLEWED OUT N HAD SEX YOU SHOULD BE LABELED A PROSTITUTE.

YOURE NEVER N ONE PLACE WHEN I SAW THAT VIDEO I WAS PISSED OFF AT THIS NIGGA LIKE HE REALLY GOT  A PROBLEM. BUT FACING “LIFE N PRISON “FOR DOING BASICALLY WHAT SO MANY OTHER ENTERTAINER HAS DONE #idisagree”

Critics condemned Boosie’s remarks, with many suggesting that his defense of Diddy implicated him in similar behavior. His comments further fueled conversations about his own controversial actions and past boasts, leaving many questioning his moral stance.

Boosie Badazz would follow his original tweet with an elaboration. He tweeted: 

“IM STARTING TO FEEL LIKE THIS “SEX TRAFFICKING “ CHARGE FOR FLYING BITCHES N FOR 3 SOMES WILL BE A TOOL USED TO TAKE DOWN HIP HOP ARTIST N CELEBRITIES. JUST THINK ABOUT IT “WHO FLYING THEY YEAH YEAHs N TO TURN UP ? WHO ALWAYS N A DIFFERENT CITY N GOTTA FLY PUSSY TO THEM? WHO AINT TRIPPING N GO GIVE THEY SEX PARTNER A LIL  CHANGE? THINK ABOUT IT THIS SHIT REAL “ IF U FLY A CHICK N YALL TURN UP N U GIVE HER A LIL CHANGE SO SHE STRAIGHT WHEN SHE GO GOME THATS #sextrafficking“. #rappers #athletes #dboys #Politicans BE CAREFUL WHO U FLY N.”

Social media would flood the rap star’s comments with opinions and resurface previous actions by him, including hiring sex workers for his minor’s birthday party. One user wrote, “So basically you’re admitting to being involved with sex trafficking also? Noted!” one user shared. “Also a reminder to everyone reading this, Boosie has hired sex workers to m##### his sons on their 13th birthday. You will be cellmates with diddy very soon also Boosie.” 

Revealing Boosie Badazz’s past employment of sex workers, another user wrote, “I’m so glad we have the very crucial voice of the man who admitted hiring sex workers for his 13 & 14-year-old son and nephew weighing in on charges for sex crimes. So important to have Boosie’s opinion on record here.” 

“One thing Boosie gon do is be on the wrong side of things,” tweeted an X user among the comments.

X, formerly Twitter, would interject into Boosie Badazz’s tweets with clarification on Diddy’s allegations. For context, the following was provided: “Diddy is charged with Racketeering, Sex Trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, and Transportation to engage in prostitution. The incriminating acts alleged include Arson, Assault, Sex trafficking, Bribery, Kidnapping, Forced labour, distribution of narcotics etc.”

Awaiting trial, Diddy is currently in Metropolitan Detention Center Brooklyn. Boosie Badazz faces resurfaced firearm charges in San Diego.

Boosie Badazz To Donald Trump: “I Deserve A Pardon” https://www.hot97.com/news/boosie-badazz-to-donald-trump-i-deserve-a-pardon/ https://www.hot97.com/news/boosie-badazz-to-donald-trump-i-deserve-a-pardon/#respond Fri, 24 Jan 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Boosie Badazz slams critics questioning his appeal for a presidential pardon from Donald Trump. In a series of posts on X (formerly Twitter), the rapper directly addressed those taking issue with his efforts, offering a pointed critique of social media culture and its tendency to amplify negativity.

“You better know that as soon as you get into some sh*t, they’re going to kick you way harder when you’re down than they ever lifted you up when you were up,” Boosie wrote, his frustration evident. “We gotta stay outta trouble. People want you in prison, away from your kids. #itsfunnytothem because they’ve never been.”

In a subsequent post, Boosie doubled down with a fiery response to his detractors. “Y’all saying I shouldn’t ask for a pardon? Shut the f*ck up. I’m gonna keep asking. This is my life. My case was already dismissed. I deserve a pardon.”

Boosie’s appeal stems from a turbulent year marked by legal battles. In early 2023, he was arrested in San Diego on federal weapons charges. Authorities accused the rapper, a convicted felon, of illegally possessing a firearm. Although the case was dismissed in August after his legal team exposed procedural errors and flaws in the evidence, the victory was short-lived. Just weeks later, Boosie revealed that he had been re-indicted on the same charges, a development he has described as unjust.

The “Wipe Me Down” artist’s legal troubles have reignited debates about the justice system and the challenges faced by formerly incarcerated individuals. Boosie Badazz’s defiant tone in his posts underscores his resolve to fight for his freedom, despite public scrutiny. His case has also sparked broader conversations about the intersection of celebrity, redemption, and the legal system, with many questioning the fairness of his re-indictment.

As Boosie Badazz continues to pursue a pardon, his battle remains a reminder of the uphill struggles often faced by those navigating the justice system, even after securing initial victories. For the rapper, the stakes are deeply personal—freedom, family, and a chance to move forward.

Boosie Badazz Reunites With Beloved Teacher https://www.hot97.com/news/boosie-badazz-reunites-with-beloved-teacher/ https://www.hot97.com/news/boosie-badazz-reunites-with-beloved-teacher/#respond Fri, 21 Mar 2025 23:08:57 +0000 Boosie Badazz had a heartfelt reunion with the teacher who made a lasting impact on his life. The Louisiana rapper shared an emotional moment on Instagram after being surprised by his favorite teacher at the Louisiana First News studio.

In a video posted on Friday, March 21st, Boosie looked visibly shocked when he saw his high school teacher. She immediately embraced him, saying, “I know, I’m gonna cry. How are you?” She revealed that she had just found out the night before that she’d be able to see him. Overwhelmed with emotion, Boosie couldn’t hold back his tears as she spoke warmly about him. “This was my baby,” she told everyone in the room. “It’s so good to see you. I love you.”

Boosie shared the touching moment with his followers, captioning the video, “MY HEART.” He also posted a picture of them together, writing, “SAW MY FAVORITE TEACHER TODAY N I CRIED LIKE A BABY. I love her so much she always believed n me.”

While it’s unclear exactly who she is or where she teaches, some fans believe she may be Miss Addison, the same teacher who surprised Boosie on a FaceTime call earlier this year at the same studio.

The reunion comes as Boosie prepares for the 6th Annual Boosie Bash in Baton Rouge, set to take place from March 21st-23rd. The festival will feature performances from Boosie himself, along with GloRilla, Sexyy Red, DaBaby, and more.

Charleston White Claims He Reported Boosie Badazz To FBI https://www.hot97.com/news/charleston-white-reports-boosie-badazz-to-fbi/ Thu, 21 Mar 2024 20:43:00 +0000 Charleston White, known for his outspoken nature, has stirred up controversy yet again, this time involving rapper Boosie Badazz.

In a recent Instagram post, White claimed to have contacted the FBI regarding alleged threats made by Boosie Badazz against him. However, White provided no concrete evidence to substantiate his claims.

On Instagram, White posted, “So Lil Boosie making threats? I’ve already contacted law enforcement concerning these possible threats against my life.” Despite the bold assertion, White failed to provide any proof of the purported threats made by Boosie Badazz.

Adding to the intrigue, White shared screenshots of text messages in which he claimed to have witnesses to Boosie allegedly threatening his life. These screenshots, however, offered little clarity or substantiation to support White’s claims.

In a video accompanying his Instagram post, White further elaborated on the situation, alleging that Boosie Badazz had made threats to a promoter. According to White, he possesses a recorded phone conversation with witnesses attesting to the promoter’s fear for his safety. White asserted that the promoter felt compelled to relocate to Baton Rouge due to fears that Boosie would send individuals to harm him.

https://www.instagram.com/p/C4v0QxqPeC6/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet

In the video, White didn’t make the call as he claimed, leaving uncertainty about whether he followed through with his intended action. However, online commentators wasted no time in condemning him as a “rat” and “snitch” for openly expressing his willingness to involve law enforcement.

Previously, Charleston White made headlines for getting Boosie’s son, Tootie Raw, arrested at last year’s SXSW event. He alerted Austin Police about the 19-year-old’s alleged possession of drugs.

Additionally, White didn’t hesitate to mock Boosie about his health issues, suggesting that his public persona as a gangsta would eventually decline due to health problems like diabetes.

Boosie Badazz Reacts to Kai Cenat’s Offer to Stream ‘Fortnite’ https://www.hot97.com/news/boosie-badazz-reacts-to-kai-cenats-offer-to-stream-fortnite/ https://www.hot97.com/news/boosie-badazz-reacts-to-kai-cenats-offer-to-stream-fortnite/#respond Wed, 22 Jan 2025 18:06:23 +0000 Boosie Badazz is gearing up for his Twitch debut, thanks to an offer from Kai Cenat after seeking his help—an opportunity he’s eagerly embracing.

Just days ago, Boosie announced his streaming plans and turned to Kai for his support in building his subscriber base. On his stream last week, Kai revealed to Boosie their plan: competing in Fortnite while staying at home. He voiced to that chat, “We gon make this n-gga a Fortniter!” “He gon’ turn into a real ass gamer.”

Once Boosie heard about the response, he admitted he doesn’t know how to play Fortnite, though he’s eager to pick it up. The rapper stated, “He finna make me a Fortniter? Aight I’m finna go practice.” “Y’all gotta show me how to Fortnite. I could do anything. Tell that n-gga let’s play Mortal Kombat! Yeah, Street Fighter! I’m fucking with Kai Cenat, man. Tell him I’m coming! I’m like that with anything!”

In other news, Boosie Badazz shared in November 2024 that he and his fiancée, Rajel Nelson, are expecting their ninth child.

The “Wipe Me Down” artist shared videos of the gender reveal on Instagram, where he learned he’d be welcoming a daughter. He said, “It’s a girl number 9 on the way.” Nelson then stated, “Happy Happiest Birthday Papa ! I love you too the moon and back . The mf GOAT ! 6 years down plenty more to GO ! Cheers to more Life , More Everything and many many more Blessings.”

Boosie Badazz Re-Indicted On Federal Firearm & Drug Charges https://www.hot97.com/news/boosie-badazz-re-indicted-on-federal-firearm-drug-charges/ Wed, 24 Jul 2024 22:20:45 +0000 Boosie Badazz isn’t free from federal prosecution just yet. Real name Torrence Hatch Jr., the rap star faces new charges following his arrest in San Diego in 2023. 

Less than two weeks after a federal judge dismissed the previous case against him, U.S. Attorney Tara McGrath’s office filed a new indictment on Friday. Hatch is charged with two counts of firearm possession: one for interstate commerce as a convicted felon and another for knowingly possessing a firearm while using controlled substances.

Previously, Boosie was charged with possession of a firearm as a felon in interstate commerce, but the case was dismissed due to a recent federal court precedent that deemed the law unconstitutional for non-violent offenders. The new indictment reasserts these allegations, seeking court-mandated forfeiture of all firearms and ammunition involved. If convicted on the second charge, Hatch could face a maximum prison sentence of 10 years.

In a social media post on X, Boosie Badazz expressed frustration over the new charges, stating, “I’m on vacation with my family. My lawyer calls and says this federal prosecutor has indicted me again on the same charge. This is a circus.” The post included the hashtag “#justiceforboosie.”

Lil Boosie, based in Louisiana, has been entangled in legal issues in San Diego since his arrest in May 2023 in the Chollas View neighborhood. He was in town to film a music video and perform at a local club when San Diego police became involved. 

Officers, watching an Instagram livestream, saw a man with a black handgun tucked into his waistband in the backyard of a residence. The man, later identified as Hatch, left the scene before officers arrived. 

Using a helicopter, police tracked him down and conducted a traffic stop, finding two loaded handguns in the vehicle. Hatch’s bodyguard, who was driving, was also taken into custody but not charged.

Local prosecutors initially attempted to charge Hatch with firearm possession. When those charges were dropped, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) took over, arresting Boosie Badazz on June 14 on a federal charge. 

Boosie pleaded not guilty and was released on a $100,000 bond. After the case was dismissed, Hatch posted a celebratory Instagram video from the lazy river at San Diego’s Sycuan Casino Resort.

Boosie is scheduled for another arraignment on August 2 in San Diego County federal court. Known for songs like “Wipe Me Down” and “Set It Off,” Boosie has had multiple encounters with law enforcement. Despite past accusations of violent crimes, he has only been convicted of non-violent felony drug charges.

Boosie Badazz Concert Ends in Gunfire, Leaving Two Critically Wounded https://www.hot97.com/news/boosie-badazz-concert-ends-in-gunfire-leaving-two-critically-wounded/ https://www.hot97.com/news/boosie-badazz-concert-ends-in-gunfire-leaving-two-critically-wounded/#respond Tue, 11 Mar 2025 17:29:52 +0000 A night at Akron’s Field House Lounge took a violent turn when gunfire erupted during Boosie Badazz’s concert, leaving three people wounded—two in critical condition.

The shooting sent chaos through the packed venue in the early hours of Monday, Cleveland 19 News reported. Video from the scene captures Boosie mid-performance when gunshots suddenly disrupt the show. The rapper quickly drops to the ground and bolts from the stage as panic ensues within the venue. Police reports reveal that off-duty officers, who were acting as security, immediately called for backup after the shots rang out.

Violence Strikes Boosie Concert: Fans Injured, Details Unclear

An 18-year-old and a 36-year-old man were quickly transported to a local hospital, where they are in critical condition.

A third individual, a 25-year-old male, was treated for a minor gunshot wound. The identities of all three victims remain undisclosed. Authorities believe the shooting erupted after a confrontation during the performance. No suspects have been named, and Boosie has not addressed the incident publicly.

Boosie Badazz’s shows have previously been overshadowed by violence. Just last year, gunfire claimed the lives of two men at one of his concerts in Iowa. Appearing to downplay the gravity of the situation, Boosie took to social media shortly after, stating, “They just shut the concert down. I’ve been in the back a couple of hours waiting to perform and they just shut the concert down – I don’t know – some shit happened in the front.” “We’re going to take it to Crush Ultra Lounge, the party don’t stop. Guess they gonna have to book me again in Omaha, but we finna … we finna take it to Crush man.” In 2017, while Boosie was on stage in Gardena, California, a shooter opened fire, injuring two fans with wounds that were not life-threatening.

Boosie Badazz Denies Wrongdoing In Viral Car Accident https://www.hot97.com/news/boosie-badazz-denies-wrongdoing-in-viral-car-accident/ https://www.hot97.com/news/boosie-badazz-denies-wrongdoing-in-viral-car-accident/#respond Wed, 09 Apr 2025 10:00:00 +0000 Boosie Badazz has responded to the viral footage linking him to a recent car accident in Atlanta, forcefully denying any responsibility while expressing frustration with those around him.

On Tuesday, April 8, the Baton Rouge rapper posted a video message from what he said was a hospital discharge, addressing the widespread clip showing him and several associates at the scene of what appeared to be a serious multi-car collision.

In the video, Boosie dismissed claims that he was behind the wheel, making it clear that others—not him—caused the crash.

“Fresh out the hospital,” he said. “No, I ain’t wreck no car. I don’t ever wreck no car. Stupid-ass n**s wreck my cars. That’s the fourth car in six months. I ain’t never wrecked s*.”

His frustration was raw, unfiltered, and consistent with the candid persona he’s maintained throughout his career.

The footage, widely shared across social media platforms, shows Boosie at the scene in a visibly rattled state. However, he appeared undeterred by the accident’s aftermath.

“It is what it is,” he added. “I’m headed to buy me two more right now.” The statement felt defiant, as though he intended to erase the chaos with the ease of a purchase.

Although Boosie didn’t provide details about injuries sustained by himself or others, he acknowledged the impact of the incident in a Facebook status posted the night before.

“I’M GOOD. BANGED UP. BUT GOOD. GOD GOT ME,” he wrote. That post suggested physical discomfort, though he downplayed its severity.

Conflicting accounts have since emerged. A woman named Kela Hicks took to Facebook to claim Boosie was at fault. “Boosie almost killed my homeboy,” she wrote. “He ran straight through the fing light doing about 100. Slow that s down.” Her version of events paints a very different picture from Boosie’s denial.

According to initial reports, the crash occurred in Atlanta at an intersection along South Fulton Parkway. Based on video footage, Boosie appeared to be driving a 2025 BMW i7 sedan, a luxury electric vehicle with a retail value starting around $105,000. The car sustained significant damage, adding fuel to the public speculation.

Neither Boosie nor his team has addressed Hicks’ claims directly, nor have law enforcement officials released an official report. Without confirmation from authorities, the public is left to parse the contradictory narratives unfolding online. Still, Boosie’s insistence on distancing himself from blame, coupled with his characteristic bluntness, has kept him at the center of the conversation.

The incident highlights the ongoing tension between celebrity narratives and eyewitness accounts in an era where every crash, confrontation, or outburst is instantly documented and dissected. For Boosie, who has never shied away from controversy, the situation feels familiar.

Whether it’s a misunderstanding or something more serious, the crash has once again thrust him into the spotlight—this time, for all the wrong reasons.

Boosie Badazz Pays Homage To The Late Irv Gotti https://www.hot97.com/news/boosie-badazz-pays-homage-to-the-late-irv-gotti/ https://www.hot97.com/news/boosie-badazz-pays-homage-to-the-late-irv-gotti/#respond Mon, 24 Feb 2025 10:30:00 +0000 Boosie Badazz recently shared his raw reaction to the passing of music mogul Irv Gotti at 54, voicing frustration over the lack of recognition Gotti received while alive. In a now-viral VladTV interview, he reflected on the overwhelming social media love Gotti got posthumously, questioning why that same energy wasn’t there before.

The interview took an unexpected turn when Boosie struggled to pronounce the word “influential.” Fans quickly turned the moment into a viral joke, but beyond the laughs, his message hit hard. He admitted he never met Gotti but was deeply moved by the tributes. Seeing the outpouring of respect made him wonder why artists don’t get their flowers while they can still smell them.

“I never met Irv Gotti, and now I’m reading all this about how he influenced the industry. Where was this love when he was here?” Boosie asked. “I ain’t even know he did all this till he died.”

Gotti, best known for co-founding Murder Inc. and shaping the sounds of Ja Rule and Ashanti, played a huge role in early 2000s hip-hop. Boosie pointed out how people only seemed to appreciate his impact after he was gone. His frustration echoed a common sentiment—artists and industry figures often don’t receive their due credit until it’s too late.

“Man, this dude was a musical genius, and I ain’t know it till he was gone. That’s the sad part,” Boosie said. Fans resonated with his words, with one commenting, “They bring flowers to your funeral but won’t bring you soup when you’re sick.” Another added, “A man’s worth is never fully appreciated until he’s gone. Big facts.”

While Boosie’s pronunciation mishap became a meme, it didn’t overshadow his point. Gotti’s influence on hip-hop was undeniable. As the mastermind behind some of the biggest hits of the early 2000s, his production skills and business moves solidified his legacy long before his passing.

Gotti’s career wasn’t without controversy. Legal battles and public feuds followed him for years, but his contributions to the culture were significant. The wave of tributes from the music industry proves just how much he mattered.

Boosie’s emotional reaction struck a nerve. His words reminded fans to appreciate legends while they’re still here. Though he never met Gotti, the impact was clear. That alone speaks volumes about the legacy Irv Gotti left behind.

T.I. & Boosie Badazz Reprimand Sons For Flashing Guns At Music Video Shoot https://www.hot97.com/news/t-i-boosie-badazz-reprimand-sons-for-flashing-guns-at-music-video-shoot/ https://www.hot97.com/news/t-i-boosie-badazz-reprimand-sons-for-flashing-guns-at-music-video-shoot/#respond Wed, 25 Sep 2024 13:22:29 +0000 T.I. and Boosie Badazz built a decorated legacy in hip-hop with their harsh-reality lyrics but that lifestyle is long behind them now. On Tuesday (Sept. 24), a viral video circulated on social media showing the fathers reprimanding their sons, King Harris and Tootie Raww, over flashing firearms while making a music video.

The clip begins with Boosie’s questioning the purpose of having firearms. “Why you got so much iron?” he says to his son while T.I. walks away granting permission to have his son spoken to similarly. 

“Treat mine like you treat yours,” says T.I. 

According to Boosie, he had just told T.I. how proud he was of their sons’ musical progress. Seeing the violent content they were trying to incorporate quickly turned his excitement into concern. 

T.I. then warned that law enforcement could easily show up on set and demand gun permits, potentially resulting in serious legal troubles. In the footage, King Harris is seen correcting the fathers about it being legal to carry a firearm before the fathers offer alternatives.

Fans pointed out the footage was from a year ago, based on King wearing blue raspberry-colored twists-it had not been released before. This is Boosie’s one of many conversations with his son about depicting a street lifestyle. Last December, Boosie recorded himself talking to his son about wearing a “Pooh Shiesty Mask.”

Both Tip and Boosie have been convicted of firearm charges in court, resulting in prison sentences. In 2007, T.I. was arrested by the ATF for purchasing illegal firearms with silencers before performing at the BET Hip-Hop Awards.  

Both rappers had been wary of their children’s music’s potential influence, but their intervention appears to have paid off. After all, the young artists grew up watching their fathers help shape southern street rap, a genre known for its raw depictions of life in the streets.

Boosie Badazz is currently fighting a re-opened firearm charge in San Diego, California.
